I read one guy (I think with The Athletic) saying they expected Chenel to blow away some people with his strength. Most mocks have him going in the 3rd-4th round. But someone might fall in love with the guy. He's a beast. Chenal weighed in at 250 pounds - which is lighter than with Wisconsin (he was around 260-265). Scouts seem to think the lighter weight will do him better in the pros to improve his speed and movement. As you said, he did well. One take: Leo Chenal, Wisconsin: At 6-2 and 250 pounds, Chenal running 4.53 was awesome. He looks thick on film and not necessarily that fast. But that number will stick to his draft profile. He's a thumping downhill type who we now know has some speed in his arsenal. Those jumps were tremendous too, and frankly, a bit shocking. Good for him. He had the highest vertical jump of the main LBs in attendance. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2022-nfl-scouting-combine-montana-states-troy-andersen-wisconsins-leo-chenal-shine-in-linebacker-workouts/ I have followed Leo since he first stepped foot on the Camp Randall field. He has been the most impressive of all the recent linebackers that have played for the Badgers. He is the classic high impact football player that really has demonstrated outstanding athletic skills at the Combine. He has demonstrated superb pass rush skills and plays the run strongly. With the 4.53 40 yard, he will be able to play sideline-to-sideline and will cover those running backs from the backfield. He has excellent tackling skills and I was hoping he would be available at pick 60 for the Packers, however I believe they will need to trade up to get him now (in the low 50s).
